THE NEW MINE 


McGillivray Creek Coal & Coke 
Co. Will Erect Large Plant 
Near Coleman--Good Coal 


On Monday evening last a 
MINER representative visited 
the McGillivray Creek Coal & 
Coke Company's property and 
was agreeably surprised with 
what he saw there. 

This company which was or- 
ganized at Spokane, in Decem- 
ber last, with a capitalization of 
$3,000,000, and owns extensive 
coal areas at Coleman, where 
coal excellent for steam and 
coking purposes is in enor- 
mous quantities, estimated at 
some sixty to seventy-five mil- 
lion tons above the water level. 

James R. Maclean, the mine 
foreman, kindly had us over 
that part of the property which 
is being developed and which is 
producing many tons of high- 
grade coal daily. 

A track which is about 
four hundred feet long and 
which runs in a southerly direc- 
tion from the mine entrance 
has been laid, and at the south 
end of this track may be seen 
hundreds of tons of as good a 
coal as can be found anywhere 
in thie rich mineral province. 

The Company has now thirty 
men working on the property 
about half a mile back of Cole- 
man. The number will increase 
as the weeks go by, so that by 
the end of August next the 


company should have one 
hundred and fifty men em} 


rays company is now working on 
No. 2 seam which averages twelve feet 
in thickness and is four miles in 


length. The miners are driving a 
slope and have already gone in a dis- 
tance of one hundred feet, The coal 
mined so far, is absolutely clean and 
free of any rock. 

The company will have a plant equal 
to any found in any of the great 
coul mining centers of the world. A 
steel tipple has already been ordered 
and all contracts for machinery will 
be closed this week. The construction 
of sidings, haulage road, power house, 
machine shop, fan and others will be 
started within three weeks. The 
tipple will be erected immediately 
west of Slav Town, 

J. F. Povah, the general manager 
of this company, feels confident that by 
the last of October next his company 
will be shipping between 300 and 400 
tons of coal daily, and in twelve 
months hence his company will be 
shipping 1,000 tons daily. 

The good that the opeffing up of 
this vast coal area will do Coleman 
cannot be imagined, and as unknown 
success has attended the opening up of 
the International Coal & Coke Com- 
pany’s property in this town so do we 
hope that immeasureable success will 
attend the McGillivray Creek Coal & 
Coke Co., Limited.

In London Journal. 


Sir Frederick Borden and the Hon. 
L. P. Brodeur, Canadian Ministers ot 
Militia and Marine, are starting Ww) 
visit this country for farther consulta. 
tion with His Majesty’s Ministers on 
the subject of Imperial Defence. At 
the same time it is notified that the 
Government of the Commonwealth 
of Australia has sent its amended 
proposals to the Admiralty. Taken |

Sir Frederick Borden presides over a 
force which is already strong both in| 
numbers and in other essentials which 
make even more surely for efficiency , 
in war. The Canadian Infantry | 
proved itself, on the day of Paarde- 
burg, fit to fight beside the el‘te of 
the British army. When the Imperial 
General Staff is established, and the |

Organized, the strength of the Empire | 
on land will be of a kind not to be | 
lightly provoked, provided that the 
Mother Country will set the exam- 
ple by accepting the liability for ser- | 
vice for defence. Sir Frederick Bor- 
den’s military service has been on | 
the non-combatant side, for he is a 
surgeon-colonel. But that is, after 
all, as real a military experience as 
most Secretaries for War in this coun- 
try enjoy. The Marine over which it 
is Mr. Brodeur’s duty to preside is 
yet a thing of the future. His auties 
are, for the nonce, confined to fisher- 
ies. But there can be no doubt that 
Canada means to have a navy of her 
own, and no man’s task can be more 
responsible than his to whose lot it

they have been charging the Thun-

thirty cents for ten words, instead of 
thirty cents a hundred—for delivering 
the goods at Glace Bay to the Mar-

AN INDIAN RIOT. 


Constable Bayonetted a Bull, Owner | 
Assaulted Constable. 


Details are published in the Indian 
ress of a serious riot at Kotappa- | 
onda, near Guntur. An important | 
Hindu festival, the Sivaratri, was at- | 
tended by many thousands of pilgrims 
and a police force of 160 of all ranks 
was detailed, ag usual, to keep order. 
The riot, according to the police ver- | 
sion, originated in a constable bayo- 
netting a bull which had kicked him. 
The owner of the bull assaulted the 
constable and was arrested. Accord 
ing to a pilgrim who witnessed the 
rioting, the man was leading his bull 
to Water, and, the animal being some- 
what frisky, the constable forbade 
him to lead it among the crowd, aod

latter is said to have retaliated by as- 


| saulting the constable with a lathi. 


A mob of 56,000 soon assembled, at- 
the temporary police-station, | 
and pelted the police with stones, The 
inspector ordered the police to fire, 
and, according to one account, two 
rioters were killed and a number 
wounded. Another report, however, 
says that the police fired away” all 
their cartridges in the air. The con- 
stables were scattered by the mob, | 
one peon was killed, and the tempor- | 
ary police station was burnt. fhe 
district superintendent of police, on | 
receiving a message from the sub- | 
inspector, rode to the scene, and it 
is reported that he found no .police- 
men there. He was surrounded by | 
the mob, who pelted him with stones 
and burnt down the house in which 
He received four 
deep wounds on the head and several | 
contused wounds on the body. Be- | 
sides the two inspectors, three sub- 
inspectors and eight constables were | 
seriously injured, and six constables 
are reported to be missing. The re- 
serve police arrived next morning and 
restored order.

Mr. Sant and His Models. 
It is now nearly thirty years ago’ 
since the doyen of the Royal Aca- 
demy. Mr. James Sant, who cele-! 
brated his eighty-ninth birthday the 
other day, painted that famous pic- 
ture, “The Soul’s Awakening.” It) 
was a sudden inspiration during the | 
visit of one of the painter’s -young | 
nieces to London. Mr, Sant caught 
her in his studio one afternoon rapt 
in thought over a book she had just | 
been reading, and “The Soul’s Awak- | 
ening” was the result. For “Peaches,” | 
another of Mr. Sant’s well-known 
pictures, the artist’s daughter Hilda 
was the model at the age of two, the 
radiant cheeks of the child actually 
suggesting comparison with the beau- 
tiful fruit she happened to be carry- 
ing in her hand. 


Friend of the Poor. 

The death of Dr. Bell Taylor recalls 
a story illustrative of the generosity 
and goodheartedness of the noted Lon- 
don oculist. Years ago the doctor was 


a little blind boy who was selling 
matches and newspapers. The doctor 
looked at the lad closely, ‘How long 
have you been blind?’ he asked. “A 
year and’a half,” was the reply. The 
result of this chance encounter was 


“that the boy was taken to Notting- 


ham, operated upon, and is now in 
full possession of his sight. This was 
done entirely at Dr, Bell Taylor’s 
expense,

FROM MARJORIE 


By Nellie Cravey Gillmore. 


| 
Copyrighted, 1909, by Associated 
Literary Press, | 


Farrington turned from the bookcase 
with a little gesture of annoyance, His 
Shakespeare, of all volumes! How 
stupid of Thomas to have let out his | 
books without his knowledge or con- 
sent! Only last week he had missed 
his favorite, much marked copy of 
Rochefoucault. Presley had nabbed 
that. 

But this was a little too much. Es- 
pecially in view of the fact that “Ham: | 
let” was playing that night and there 
were a couple of passages he felt he 
must run over. 


He crossed the room impatientiy Be Fer when hd 


pushed the call bell. Tt was answer | 


“It seems still more of my books are 
missing, Thomas, I am afraid you 
have been careless. I can't locate that 
red calf edition of Shakespeare any- 
where.” 

“You left orders, sir—begging your 
pardon—to accommodate any of the 
young gentlemen”— 

“When I rushed off to Europe. eh?” 
A whimsical smile made its transient 
passage across Farrington's scowling | 
face. “Very well. 1 presume you are 
right. I was a bit upset, I remember. 
You may go.” 

But as the man started toward the 
door he called him back. 

“By the way, are there any book- 
stores hereabout?” 

“No first class ones, sir.” 

“Any—er—first class neighbors?” 

“A few, sir.” 

“Good! Scrimmage around and find

But Thomas had already disappeared.

out. of the front door when Farring-

Farrington took the volume eagerly, 
turning the yellowed leaves with deft 
fingers till be should come to “Ham- 
let.” But suddenly he paused, his 
eyes narrowed curiously and his heart 
gave a startled jump. A brief extract 
from “The Merry Wives of Windsor” 
“Ask me no rea- 
son why I love you, for, though love 
use reason for its precision, he admits 
him not for his counselor.” 

The passage was heavily under- 
scored, and below it were scribbled 
in corroboration the initials “M. H.”— 
“W. F.” They were bers—and his! 

Marjorie Hayward! The name sent 
his thoughts tumbling tumultuously 
back over the past, sent the blood tin- 
gling even to his eyelids. How many 
years—nearty ten!—since he had called 
that name. Yet how many days, in- 
deed, had it been absent from his 
heart? 

The minutes flew by as he sat there 
wrapped in meditation, At last he be- 
gan again to slip the leaves absently 
through his fingers, when abruptly 
they came in contact with something 
alien, 

He glanced closer, almost indifferent- 
ly, and started again as his gaze resat- 
ed stupidly upon an envelope stuck to 
one of the pages and addressed in 
full to himself—addressed in Marjorie 
Hayward's clear, resolute characters 
half a score of years ago, when they 
had both lived in the same little west- 
ern town. 

RF i -woigy a second thought as to

ether too much, do we not, to let a silly 


quarrel seperate us for life? Come to me 
tcnight. I shall be waiting for you. As 
ever, MARJORIE. 

For an indeterminate space Walter 
Farrington sat half stunned. What} 

happened? What ceuld it mean?

Perhaps she was married. Or was stie 
dead, and had fate chosen this ironical 
opportunity to thrust an added misery 
into his bitter memories? 

Farrington was not a man to hem 
and haw. He thought quickly, and he 


the doorbell next door. \ 

But he was destined to disappoint. 
ment. Miss Hayward had gone to/| 
“Hamlet.” Farrington hurried down 
the avente that led to the playhouse. | 
Luckily, his ticket was to be called for | 
at the box office. It was a good sent | 
and commanded a sweeping view of 


| the audience. 


After the first act their eyes met~ | 
locked—across the sea of faces in the 
orchestra. The girl paled, flushed 
and paled again, Then her eyes fell | 
away from the deep, ardent gaze riv- 
eted upon her. 

After the play Farrington stationed 
himself at the door, but Marjorie left 
by a box entrance, and he went — 
with a sinking heart to a dream baunt- 
ed pillow. 

The rain wa 


ed sky was blushing 
pened his shutters at 
6 the next morning. The flowers’ made 
a rainbow of color in the garden be- 
low, and the air was vocal with the) 
matutinal chirping of birds. 

Suddenly the ‘door of the house 
across the way swung open, and a 
young woman in a trim brown travel- | 
ing dress, suit case in hand, emerged | 
upon the porch. 

Farrington caught a desperate breath, 
The northbound train left in twelve 
fhinutes, and he was still in his bath- 
robe and slippers. 

After Providence had thus delecta- 
bly tossed them together again she 
was running away from him. 

Seven minutes later, decidedly {ll 
groomed, he whizzed up to the plat- 
form of the G. and G., jumped out 


in the runabout. 

Miss Hayward was just turning from | 
the ticket window as he came up, and 
again their eyes met, hers evasively, | 
his with the old compelling power she 
had never known how to resist. 

“Marjorie!” 

“Walter!” 
unconstiously. 

“I just received your message, dear,” 
he said, “and thai is why 1 am here.” 
He displayed to her bewildered gaze 
the faded writing on the yellowed pa- 
per. 

“Why,” she breathed wonderinglty— 
“why, I don’t understand. 1 wrote 
you that letter over nine years ago 
and”— 

“For some reason which is not pres- 
ently apparent it was never mailed. 
See, the stamp is uncanceled. 1 found 
it in the little old Shakespeare we used 
to read so often together.” 

“And which I have never opened 
since you went away.” she interposed 
in a little tremulous whisper. 

The engine bell rang. With a little 
exciaMation Marjorie started ivward | 
the train. Farrington took her suit 
case from her. 

“Where are you going?’ he asked. 

“To Pittsburg. And you?” 

“Wherever you are—always.” 

And they stepped aboard the mov- 
ing train. 


The name escaped her | 


What Is In a Name. 

Heinemann. the European publisher, 
once noticed two peddlers standing side 
by side, selling toy dolls. One of them 
had a queer, fat faced doll, which he 
was pushing into the faces of the pass- 
ersby. giving it the name of a well 
known woman reformer then promi-| 
nently before the public. His dolls 
were selling rapidly, while the man be- 
side him, who had a really more at- 
tractive doll, was doing comparatively 
little business. A thought occurred 
to Heinemann, and he tried an experi-| 
ment. Calling the second peddler to 
one side, “My friend,” he said, “do you | 
want to know how to sell twice as 
many of these dolls as you are selling | 
now? Hold them up in pairs, two to-| 
gether in each hand, and cry them as| 
‘The Heavenly Twins.’” The toy ven@-| 
er somewhat grudgingly followed his) 
advice. It was at a time when Sarah} 
Grand’s famous novel was at the| 
height of its popularity, and the title | 
of the book was on every one’s tongue, | 
Perbaps it was merely luck, but the) 
heavenly twins dolls were an instan- | 
taneous success, and within one hour 
the vender of the woman reformer | 
dolls gave up the fight. acknowledged 
himself beaten and moved five blocks 
down the street to escape the ruinous | 
competition.—Lorin F. Deland in At-

EGG POISONING. 
Persons Always Affected— 
Others Only Occasionally. 


Some 


nstances of egg poisoning appeat | 


| ‘om time to time in periodical litera- | » 


It was almost | 


ture, and the subject is referred to in 
some but by no means all works on 
dietetics. 

While cases of acute poisoning are 
rare, writes a physician in The Medi- 
eal Record, some susceptibility as re- 
— eggs is not 80 very uncommon. 

eople constantly assert that eggs 
make them bilious, and, while in some 
this is often imaginary, in others the 
condition actually exists. 

This is notably true of infants and 
young children. Not only do many 
irfants and young children digest 
eges with difficulty, especially when 
first eaten, but many more. are made 
ill if this particular food is partaken 
of too freely or, in the case of older 
children, if the egg diet is kept up 
to» continuously. 

This inability of young children to 
digest eggs is probably in line with 
the well recognized fact that the in- 
fant’s stomach, or digestive juices, 


| must be taught to digest most dietary 


articles other than the maternal milk. 


Cows’ milk, for instance, is a verit- 
able poison to some infants, while 
meny a newly-born requires some 


practice and education before it can 


| thoroughly digest even mother’s milk. 


Individual susceptibility as regard- 
egg: is extremely variable. In some 
persons eggs always act as poisons, 

in others the toxie influence 
be marked at one time and at 
arvother much diminished or entirely 
wanting, especially when the subject 
is in sound condition. 

The susceptibility may be observed 


| in eggs of every degree of freshness 


and in’ some cases only with eggs of 
certuin birds. Changes in eggs may 
be brought about by methods of cook- 
ing. for, while some persons manifest 
theic susceptibility only when the egg 
is raw, others are poisoned when it is

In most of the reported cases the 
white of the egg appears to have been 
the offending element. The symptoms 
of egg poisoning differ greatly in de 
gree In some cases only nausea and 
headache occur. In others the most 
violent symptoms, suggestive of irri- 
tant poisoning, are observed. 


Sometimes when the use of eggs is | 


| long continued they give rise to the} 


symptom group which we call bilious- | 
ness, which, after. all, is but a form | 
of auto-intoxication, due possibly to} 
the presence of some alkaloid in the 
blood. The symptoms of egg poison- | 
ing are essentially those of so-called | 
ptomaine poisoning. 

It is true that the eggs giving rise) 
to toxic phenoména are in most in- 
stances apparently fresh when eaten, 
but when we recall that the porous 
shell of the egg will admit the micro) 
organisms that cause the egg to rot, 
as well as various strong odor, it is

_It Covers Its Victim With Confusion 
and Helplessness. 


“That woman,” said the library 
ttendant, pointing to a woman who 
had just gone into the reading room, 


“had a pretty bad case of library | 


fright.” 

“When?” asked. the old subscriber. 

“A few minutes ago, when she ask- 
ed for a book,” said the librarian. 
“Did you never hear of the library 
fright? Many “people have it. It} 
attacks thern when they go into a 
strange library just to look around or 
rest for a few minutes and are in- 
formed that in ‘order to enjoy the 
hospitality of the reading room they 
will have to ask for a book and make | 
at least a.pretence of reading. The 
chances are that; no matter how 
familiar they are with books, they | 
won't be able to recall the namé of a | 
single one at. that moment. If the | 
library happens to be run on the help | 
yourself principle, which gives pat- | 
rons access to the shelves, they can 
pick up some volume at random, but 
when iged to consult the catalogue, | 
as they are here, their confusion is | 
both pitiable and ludicrous. 

“T had the library fright twice my? | 
self. My first attack was in the Con- 
gressjonal library in Washington. I | 
wanted to read there for a few min- 
utes, just for the sake of being able | 
to say afterward that I had read | 
there. Used as I was to- handling | 
books, I couldn’t think of even the | 
dictionary when it came to making | 
a choice. After a few minutes of | 
hopeless floundering ‘Taine’s History 
of English Literature’ flashed across | 
my mind. I had no desire on earth | 
to look at ‘Taine’s History of English 
Literature’ then or at any other time, 
but I give you my word I. couldn’t 
ig of any other book to save my 
ife. 

“Another time, in a library here in 
town, I was stricken with a similar 
panic, and after stumbling through 
the catalogue in a dazed sort of way | 
I asked for ‘David Copperfield’— 
‘Copperfield,’ mind you, that I had 
read forty-eleven times and knew by 
heart. It’s a funny ‘thing, this ii- | 
brary fright. A person who has never 
experienced it cannot imagine how | 


foolish and helpless the sufferer | 
feels.”” 


Some Odd Words. 

“Topsy turvy’’—when things are in 
confusion, they are said to be topsy 
turvy, an expression derived from the | 
way in which turf for fuel is placed 
to dry on its being cut. The surface 
of the ground is pared off with the 
heath growing upon it, and the heath 
is turned downward and left some | 
days in that state that the earth may 
get dry before it is carfied away. It 
means, therefore, really “top side turf 
way. ; 

“Coxcomb”. “is a corruption of 
cock’s comb, which is considered as 
an unnecessary part and is always 
cut off from game. birds and only 
suffered to grow on those of the barn- 


duce changes which may cause tox.c

ed by the case of Mr. 
Mr. Mulhooly, two Irish gentlemen. 
Though they were known to be great 
friends, they were one ’ 
to pass each other in the street with- 
out a greeting. oe : 
“Why, Mulcahy,” a friend asked in 
astonishment, “have you and Mul- | 
hooly quarreled?’’ 
“That we have not!’’ said Mr. Mul- | 


cahy, with earnestness. | 
“There seemed to be a coolness be- | 
tween you when you passed just) 
now.” 
“That’s the insurance of our) 
friendship.” 
“T don’t understand.” 
“Whoy, thin, it’s this way: Mul-| 
hooly and I are that devoted to wan | 
another that we can’t bear the idea | 
of a quarrel, and as we are both | 
moighty quick tempered we’ve resolv- |

all!’’—London Tit-Bits. 


Most Deadly of African Fevers. | 

We often hear of the African fever, | 
or jungle fever. But speak of the fev- | 
er to-the man who has been where it 
prevails and he will tell you that it | 
is more feared by the explorer than | 
the most dangerous animal. There is , 
a malarial fever that the African mos- | 
uito will put into you with its bite. 
+ may stay in you six of seven | 
years, but you ean finally get rid of | 
it by proper treatment. But the- 
black water fever of German’ East | 
Africa comes on you and catches you 
when you may think the trouble is) 
only a little malaria, Unless there 
is a physician in the party who knows | 
its signs the man who is stricken | 
with it seldom comes back to the civi-» 
lized world alive.

Some Facts About This Mysterious 


Force of Nature. 


gs Sag still more of less a'

small seale in the laboratory, but its | 
geo manifestations in the sky and 
ts wonderful vagaries make the wis-

est savants shake their heads. 
know, at any rate, that lightning is 
the electric discharge at high tension 
between masses oppositely electrified. , 
Every little particle of moisture in| 
the air carries a charge, and when the | 
particles coalesce in a cloud their | 
electricity collects on the surface un- 
til the tension becomes enormous. If | 
two clouds are oppositely electrified | 
they will bombard each other until | 
equilibrium is established between 
them. If the opposition is between 
thé surcharged cloud and an object 
on the ground: a terrific bolt passing 
between the earth and the sky will re- 
lieve the electric strain without re- 
gard:to the well being of any creature 
that stands in the way. | 

A lightning flash often darts for 
miles through the air. It begins with 
a discharge between two adjacent par .| 
ticles. The next particle receives the | 
shock and transmits it to its nearest | 
neighbor, ana thus it rushes on, zig- | 
zagging along the line of least resist- | 
ance until the unbalanced energies are | 
restored to equality. The way of} 
lightning is a crooked way when thé 
path is long, because the distribution | 
of the electric charges in the clouds | 
is irregular. The positive seeks the | 
negative and rushes to its embrace | 
wherever it finds it. | 

The eye is not quick enough to un-| 
ravel a lightning strike, but photo- 
graphy can do it to a certain degree, 
and photographs prove that the path | 
of the discharge is a waving line. No 
discharge occurs until the tension has 
rerched the breaking point—i.e., the | 


| point where the resistance of the air |~ 
| can no longer restrain the force of the | 


gathering charge. 

What might be called the inner 
structure of a lightning stroke is a 
marvel, Prof. Henry proved that 
every stroke is an alternating current, | 
the oscillations occupying but a few 
millionths of a second, while the dura- 
tion of the flash may be a consider- | 
able fraction of a second.

HEROES Of THE DEEP 


Brave Captains Who Have Per- 
ished With Their Ships. 


— 


A STERN RULE OF THE SEA. 


“The Captain of the Vessel Shall Be 
the Last to Leave,” and From Thie 
Mandate No Captain Is Exempt. 
Heroism In Face of Certain Death. 


“The captain of the vessel shall be 
the last to leave.” 

This heroic sentiment has been ex- 
emplified time and again by the brave 
men who go down to the sea in ships, 
and to their everlasting bonor ‘there 
fs no attempt or desire to shirk the 
fearful duty and responsibility. So it 
was that Captain Sealby of the fll 
fated Republic refused to leave his ship 
till every man, woman, child and mem- 
ber of his crew ‘had been saved, 

“The last to leave!”. It is the law, 
universally asknowledged at sea by 
officers and men, alike as the basis of 
seif respect. and bonor. From it no 
captain is exempt. 

One of the bravest of these heroes 
was Chief Officer Paterson of the 
British King. One day some winters 
ago’*he sailed from New York under 
Captain O'Hagan. Great storms. im- 
peded the passage of the ship, and so 
stupendous was the violence of the 
Waves that they stove in the bow 
plates, and before the leakage was 
discovered tons of water rushed into 
the hold. 

Captain O’Hagan told his men to 
shift the cargo. but barrels and cases 
were hurtling this way and that, and 
one of them, driving the captain back 
against the wall, crushed his leg so 
feverely that he had to be carried to 
the lifeboat. 

For a brief space there was no cap- 
tain. Then Paterson took command. 
At a critical moment bis strong per- 
sonality and calm assurance saved 
the crew from panic. Three boats 
filled with sailors from the British 
King were launched in safety, while 
the new commander stood in silence 
on‘the bridge. Lower and lower sank 
the ill starred ship, and as she heaved 
and took her final plunge Paterson 
blew a farewell blast upon his whistle 
to the fast departing crew. ‘ 

Quite different. but no less heroic, was 
the manner in which Captain Griffith 
of the Atlantic Transport line steam- 
ship Mobegan faced death. Though it | 
was scarcely darker than twilight, he 


t Needles in October, 1898, and it 
‘was rapidly sinking. The last glimpse 
ot Captain Griffith showed bim stand- 
ing on the bridge ordering the boats

only reproot he had inmewrred from 
the latv who was then at the head of | *17 ™an of

Indoor Golf. ‘ 

In the eighteenth century golf 
courts or alleys were roofed. over to 
protect them from sun and rain, wind 
and falling leaves, so that people 
might golf undisturbed in all weath- 
ers. These formed long wooden sheds, 
eighty feet long and twenty broad, 
covered with tiles. The floor, which 
consisted of a mixture of earth and 
lime, was made hard, smooth and 
perfectly level. At a quarter distance 
from each end stood a pin turned out 
of hard wood. For two feet of its | 
height it was thickly-coated wiih bell | 
metal, so as to give a sharp sound 
when struck by the large leather 
balls. Around the golf‘alleys were | 
little tables and stools for the on. | 
So one finds them in north) 
Holland still; The game in fact had | 
been reduced almost to parlor golf.— | 
London Express. : 


What “He's a Brick” Means. 

The common phrase “‘He’s a brick !”” 
is first found in’ Plutarch. The ex- | 
pression implies any form of admira- | 
tion. The Spartans, quick witted and 
noted for their repartee, were early | 
trained in both schools. They were | 
men of few words and fewer laws and 
embodied in short phrases~their ad- 


curgus was not only a man of few | 
words. but quick action. On being 
asked, “Should Sparta be inclosed?” | 
an invasion of the enemy being ex- | 
pected during the time of war, he) 
replied, ‘A city is well fortified which | 
has a wall of men instead of brick.” | 


China’s Great Wall. 

The builder of the Great Wall of 
China was a great warrior emperor 
called Chi Hw Ti, who lived about 
two centuries ‘ore @rist. To Tad 
a stop to the incursions of the Tar- 
d other northern tribes he 
caused this great we) 000 miles in

liner La Bourgogne, sunk in the.sum- 
mer of 1898. As he stood one night 
upon the bridge a tall bark 
loomed out of the darkness and, deal- 
ing La Bourgogne a fatal blow, steam- . 
ed burriedly away. The men on board 
went frantic. In a scramble for safety 
firemen and crew lost their wits, and 
people ran up and down the deck in 
wild despair. 

Deloncle stood calm amid the tnu- 


| mult. Suddenly he abandoned himseif 


to the dramatic borror of the scene 


| and, seizing the whistle rope, sent into 


the skies one long. wild, wailing groan. 
It was Deloncleée’s last salute. 

Perbaps the noblest death of all was 
that of Captain Craven of the monttor 
Tecumseh at the attack in August, 
1864, on Mobile. The ship was fast 


| sinking. There was pot a moment to 
| be lost. 


At the foot of the ladder lead- 
ing to the manhole above, the turret 
of safety, two men met, Captaig Cra- 
ven and bis pilot. There would be 
time for but one to mount. The cap- 
tain knew it; the pilot knew it. But 
there was no besitation. With a smile 
Captain Craven stepped to one side. 

“After you, pilot,” be said. 

The man sprang vp the ladder, and 
his life was saved, but the brave cap- 
tain was swept under and carried to 
destruction by the cruel sea.—London

In the Rose 
Garden. 


By VIRGINIA BLAIR. 


Copyrighted, 199. by Associated 
Literary Press 


It wis on the third night of the new | 


moon that Beverly Alden, musiig on 
his sermon in the darkness of his 
study, beheld from the window some- 
thing white moving in his garden 

As the Rev. Beverly's garden was a 
vegetable garden, he thought fearfully 
of something sinfully trampling on his 
succulent salads, and he rose hastily. 
Standing just behind the window shut- 
ter, he decided, however, thut a horse 
would be shorter, a doz taller, and he 
did not believe in ghosts. 

He went into the hall, took his hat 
from the rack and stepped softly over 
the threshold. 

As his footsteps sounded on the 
gravel of the path the white object 
moved from the middle of the garden 
and flied. He heard the click of the 
gate and then silence. 

“Hum!” mused the Rev. Beverly 
and bent over his lettuce bed. “A 
thief,” he said as he straightened up. 

The next morning a fuller investiga- 
tion showed that there had been depre- 
dations of onions and radishes. But 
the minister said nothing to bis house- 
keeper. Common thieves did not come 
garbed in white, nor were they of slen- 
der outline and graceful. 

The Rev. Beverly had noe unusual 
powers of penetration, but it had not 
taken him many moments to decide 
that the spoiler of his garden was a 
woman. 

“But why”’—he debated the next | 
night as he finished his sermon—“why 
should a woman steal—a lady, I am 
sure, by the grace of her carriage— 
why should she steal my little onions 

and my lettuce?” 

But all the wisdom of the Scriptures 
did not answer his question. And after 
his sermon was finished he again 
turned out his light and sat in the 
darkness of his study. 

And again, as he mused, he saw a 
patch of white at the end of the gar- 
den. Breathless he watched. and closer 
and closer came the ghostly figure un- | 
til it stood just beneath his window. 
Then a voice said, “I have come to 
pay you for the vegetables.”

But when Warren’s answer came it 
was a revelation, 
“Of all things!” Aunt Anne ejacu- 
lated when she bad read it. 
“What’s the matter?’ 
asked. 

“Read that,” said Aunt Anne trag-

“Of all things!” Aunt Anne ejacu- 
lated again. 

Constance caught her breath quick- 
ly. “You mustn’t tell Beverly,” she 
said. 

“Why not?” 

“He won't marry.’ Constance said 
mysteriously, “if he knows it.” 

So they were married quietly and 
went to live in the cottage, and Aunt 
Anne went home, and the big colonial 
house was closed, and the winter 
came, and the roses were wrapped in 
winding sheets of straw. 

“You will miss the rose garden next 
summer,” said the parson as he and 
his wife walked up the snowy path. “I 
wonder who will live here then?” 

“The new tenants,” said Constance, 
who, wrapped in a big red cloak, was 
leaning on her husband’s arm, “are

had forsaken the clergyman. “Oh, I 
beg your pardon!” 

“No, you needn’t beg it.” the voice. 
said again. “I picked some lettuce 
and things last night, and here is the 
money. It wasn’t a very conventional 
way to go to market, but we wanted 
a salad, and”—_ 

The Rev. Beverly, ring over the 
sill, caught the sparkle in her eyes as 
she made her half apology. 

“You needed your salad late,” he 
said dryly. 

“Ab”—her little laugh rippled out— 
“think of my predicament! Some peo- 
ple came from the city hungry, and 

re was nothing in the house but 
e; You see, 1 am such a new house- 
keepér—we came only yesterday—and 
Susanne, my maid, forgets to tell me 
when things are out, and the shops 
are so far away—so, while she made 

_an omelet I flew into your garden— 
and—and flew back and no one was 
the wiser.” 

“I saw you,” the Rev. Beverly in- 
formed her, “and I thought you were 
a thief.” 

“Ob!” There was a little gasp. “Tt 
did look like it, didn't it? But, you 
see, I have brought the money.” And 
the silver glittered on the sill as she 
spread it out before him. 

“No,” the Rev, Beverly protested; 
“you are perfectly welcome to any- 
thing you care to take.” 

“Oh, but you must’—there was a 
note of alarm in her voice—“because 
1 should feel as if I had stolen if I am 
not allowed to pay.” 

He was smiling down at her. “You 
can pay me by giving me a rose from 
your garden,” he said, 

“Why don’t you have roses of your 
own?” she demanded, 

He sighed. “I hardly dare allow 
myself the luxury. It is cheaper to 
raise one’s spnmeniee than to buy 
them, and a clergyman in a small town 
has to think of expenses.” 

“I suppose,” doubtfully, “that your 
salary is not large?” 

“No, but there are donations.” 
eyes twinkled. 

“Such as roses?” 
up at him. The moonlight touched her 
hair with gold. The pulses of the Rev. 
Beverly began to beat. 

“May I come over some time and 
walk with you in your rose garden?” 
he asked. 

“Come now,” 
sponse. 

He went, and it was the beginning 
of friendship. 

“He is lovely,” Constance confided to 
her aunt, who had come up te her 
niece’s colonial mansion for the pur- 
poses of chaperonage. “And he's here 
in this little town because he feels that 
he is needed more than in a city 
eharge where he could get much more 
money.” : 

“Constance,” her aunt warned, “don’t 
get romantic over a country parson.” 

“He has the dearest little eottage.” 
Constance mused, “with a vegetable 
garden. He sends over tomatoes and 
parsley, and J put roses {p bis button- 
hole. It's very interesting,” she sighed. 

“It may be tragic for’ him.” 

“Why?

then?”

It was the morning of that fearsome, 
uncertain day on which the bonds 
were to be made fast, where a tiny 
path yet leads back, when each tries 
to peer into the future and wonders 
and doubts and hesitates. 

They were alone, and she drew near 
bim, aware and watchful. 

“Harold, dearest, in a few hours it 
will all be over. Can you grasp it 
all? But did you dream of me last 
night?” 

“Yes, ownest. I saw you as a black, 
marvelous swan, drifting placidly all 
alone on a mirrored lake, with here 
and there a flat, floating leaf. And 
then I, a humble, joyous swan, too, 
began to float out to you. And my 
soul took fire, dearest, and I thrilled 
all over as you swung superbly around, 
and I wished to be a poet, with-a liv- 
ing, passionate pen, and I wished my- 
self an earth god and that a raging 
wind would swoop down upon you 
that I might seize you in my arms 
and defy the storm god. And I could

might sing”— 

“But, Harold, do you really love me?” 

He paused, breathed deep and 
| poured out his soul, “Yes, dearest, I 
think you are it.” 

And then’ she held up her vibrant 
lips, confident, satisfied.—Puck. 


Soliloquy of the Engagement Ring. 
IT am considered a brilliant success 


in literature, though many people ac- 
cuse me of plagarism, the popular crit- 
icism of my work being “that old, old 
story.” 

It is a pity I am so bright, bowever, 
considering the conversations I have 
to listen to every evening. Last night 
he remarked sixty-five times, “1 love 
you sv, dear,” and sixty-five times she 
replied, “Do you, dear?” 

He tells them all “I love you as man 
never loved before.” Isn't he clever to 
find so many new ways of doing some- 
thing so old? 

Personally I ean see no difference in 
his methods myself. 

They held on to me with both hands 
last evening, but I insisted upon cut- 
ting them. 

The man and I can always get 
around a pretty girl. 

The man owes all his happiness to 
me. Only through my influence is he 
able to hold her hands in bis and taste 
the sweetness of her lips, yet lready 
has he forgotten me ip his longing for 
a wedding ring. 

Men are so ungrateful, but I will 


bide my time. Methinks I will soon 
be avenged. 

Iam the “best seller” op the market.

Yet since those early days the town 
| has been comparatively forgotten. 
| Even yet it has not become a hannt 
of the tourist and the traveler, al- | 
| though each year a few visitors resort | 


| there, bringing back tales of this city 
| that out-Nurnbergs Nurnberg. It is | 
easily reached, being on a little 


| 


branch line from the railway between 
Frankfort and Munich. | 
It is a place where the sightseer 
cannot go wrong, for everywhere is, 
fascination. There are both stateli- 
ness and beauty. There are towering 
houses with erjsscrossed fronts. | 
There’are deep dungeons under the 
Rathhaus, reached by stairways drip- 
ping with moisture, into which not a 
ray of light can enter, and in one of 
these dungeons some five centuries 
ago the men of Rothenburg placed 
the burgomaster who, more than any 
other in the long burgomasterial line, 
give to the city power and wealth | 
and prosperity. But they charged 
him with conspiring with the em-| 
peror and not only gave him no| 
light, but edged their animosity py | 
deliberately giving him no food. It | 
is in all a fiercely dramatic story, for) 
friends who were still faithful tun- | 
neled to the cell and madly cut| 
through its prodigious wall and reach- | 
ed the prisoner, but only to find him | 
dead. 
Nowadays they treat unpopular) 
burgomasters with more considera- | 
tion. Each. burgomaster is chosen | 
for three years, and at the end of | 
that time he is either elected for Life | 
| or gives place to a successor. But an 
| election for life does not give un- 
checked power, for it is a simple} 
matter with these townsfolk, if they 
tire of a life chosen mayor, to make 
| him “so crazy with vexation,” as it 
\,was expressed to. me. that he is glad 
to resign and accept the pension that 
they palliatively offer. Only recently 
they thus got rid of one.—Robert 
Shackleton in Harper’s Magazne.

The Wise Goose. 

You must not say “us silly as a| 
oose’”’ any more, for naturalists have | 
een studying this animal of late | 
years, and they have come to the| 
conclusion that she is the wisest old 
bird going. 

She never quarrels without cause; | 
she sees danger befure any other | 
fowl; she hus more courage than the 
rooster; she is far braver than the 
gobbler ,and, if given a fair show, 
she can beat off the fox. 
| A flock of geese squatted around the | 
barnyard at night is a much greater 
protection than the watch-dog. They 
are light sleepers and will give the 
alarm the instaut they see a stranger 
moving about.

goose” and give her all credit—Mont-

“Oh, it wasn’t the loss of the hand 
itself that I was thinking of,’’ sighed |

Press.) 

HEN the Bowsers sat down 
to breakfast the other morn- 
ing Mrs. Bowser found her- 
self without any appetite, 

and, though she tried her best to con- 
| cenl the fact, 
| notice and said: 


“No appetite, eh? Well, when ‘I 
|} henrad that you had been sloshing | 
around in the rain yesterday | made 
up my mind that you would pay for | 


} ft."* 
“But 1 didn’t get my feet wet.’’ she 
protested. 


; “Of course you wouldn’t own up to 


it. No appetite this morning. and you 
look us if you hadn't a week to live. 
I've talked and talked, but what good 
has it done?” 

“IT have a little headache, but it will 
be gone by noon.” 

“Gone nothing. I shall come home to 
find you im a raging fever and the 
doctor and a trained nurse here. Even 


if you live through it you will make 
me $200 cost.” 

“Any one is liable to have a head- 
ache now and then.” 

“Headache! Headache! Women, 
don’t try to deceive yourself. This is 


be a 


going to very serious. matter. 


Mr. Bowser soon took | 


then to be lowered again. Then he 

asked Mrs. Bowser to look at the 

whites of his eyes and report: 
; “You may pull through,” she said in 
doubtful tones, 

“Then telephone to some other doc- 
tor—nurses from some hospital. Tell 
them to send two of them—three of 
; them. Get two—it’s Bowser—Samuel 
Bowser. 
} saved, I don’t care if it costs a mil- 
| lion dollars!" 
| Mrs. Bowser didn’t telephone to any 
doctors and nurses. She simply pre- 
tended to, She was saving Mr Bow- 
| ser for the family doctor. She got 
him tea and toast, and though he pro- 
tested his weakness and want of ap- 
petite he nibbled and sipped. He felt 
better afterward, but he didn’t admit 
it. On the contrary, after fetching a 
‘long drawn groan he whispered: 

“Why did this come to me, 
Rowser=why come to me instead of 
another? Why am I singled out for a 
victim?” 

“Becnuse you waded in slush and 
| water.” 

“But I—-Il— 
those doctors understand that this is a 
| case of life or death and that they can 

be sued for damages for delay.” 

Then he sighed. Then he groaned. 
Then he _ propped and unpropped. 
|'Then he asked if typhoid patients 
| didn’t lose all the hair on their head, 

and when Mrs, Bowser reminded him 
| that he hadn’t any to lose he was not 
a bit comforted. 

While waiting for three doctors and 
| two nurses and other things Mr. Bow- 
| ser prepared for the worst: 

or ten minutes he reviewed his past 
| life and then said to Mrs, Bowser:

He was petted and soothed and 


fallen into a doze when he suddenly 
sat up and exclaimed: 

“There’s the cook! 
about her!” 

“Well, what of the cook?” 

“I want to take her hand before I 
die and beg her pardon for finding 
fault with her cooking. Call her up 
right away.” 

“But she’s gone out this evening for 
an hour or two,” 

“And there’s your mother! If you

His words sounded heartless, but as 
the headache went off in a couple of 
hours Mrs. Bowser did not treasure 
them up. She rather expected he 
would telephone during the day, but. 
as he didn’t she stood on her dignity 
and did not call him up. At his bour

and in good spirits, but as she saw | 
him drop off the car she knew that | 
something had gone wrong. His shoul- |

Sometimes the construction engineer 
brings his new line face to fave with

Plerce it. Tunnels are not pleasait to 
ride through. They are, moreover. 
fearfully expensive to construct, and 
| they necessitate a double inspection. 
But—and the “but” in this case is a 
very large one—they reduce grades 
; and distances in wholesale fashion, 
| and so in a mountainous country the 
| engineer must be prepared to drive 
tunnels and the folk who come after 
| him to operate them. The tunnel job 
| is apt to be a separate part of the 
work. It calls for its own expert tal- 
| ent. 
| If the tunnel is more than a half or 
| three-quarters of a mile long it will 
| probably be dug from a shaft or shafts 
| 8 well as from its portals. In this 
| Way the work will not only be greatly 
hastened, but .the shafts will continue 
tin use after it is completéd as venta 
| for the discharge of engine smoke and 
| gases from the tube. 
The ordinary course of such work is

| arid from the footings of the shafts.

with brick, as a rule, and this lining 
is set in place right in the path of the 
cutting shield. After long weeks and 
perhaps months of work the time 
comes when the different bores meet 
and the tunnel is a single underground 
tube from portal to portal.

boats were lowered, Captain John 8. 
Deblois going in one of them, The

Captain Deblois at once pulled in,

a part of them to the second mate’s 
boat. Then both the captain and séc-

Pills cure it quickly and completely. 

“TI suffered from Backache for two

jily worse. I also had occasional at- 
| tacks of Lumbago. T was always tired 
land at times my eyes were puffed 
and swollen. In the mornings I had

Attacks of cholera and dysentery 
come quickly, there seldom being any 
warning of the visit. Remedial action 
must be takun just as quickly if the 
patient is to be spared great suffering 
and permanent injury to the lining 
membranes of the bowels. The readin 
est preparation for the purpose is Dr. 

J. D. Kellogg’s Dysentery Cordial. It 
can be got at small cost at any drug 
store or general dealer's, and it will 
afford relief before a doctor can be 
called.
